That's part of it (also a Cleveland fan here). Bauer suspected Houston of using substances to get a higher spin rate. He had worked out at Driveline in Seattle and knew what was possible and what wasn't without illegal substances.

IME, if you get enough people together someone is going to abuse the system. If it's an exception, then making a rule is the wrong play. Now again IME, if it's the culture across the board, then that's a leadership problem an

Your linked post from Bryan Caplan isn't compelling that transfer of learning is "virtually non-existent." Anecdotally, I agree that a good deal of teaching does not produce learning that is durable or transfers. That doesn&#

That puts it in perspective. Ford sold 787,000 F-150’s in 2020 and about 1 million F-series trucks in total.

I thought it was due to fuel standard requirements and loopholes between autos and light trucks like the F-150. Cars and mid size SUVs all seem to be converging on the same shape with minor differences where as trucks still have some indivi

The contrast helps me. As someone who made/hosted Web 1.0 websites, isn’t a software engineer, and has over the past few years tried creating/hosting websites again, things got a lot more complicated in the interim. So I hear your

Roger Ailes, the man who made Fox News, generated the controversy around this when it was a non-issue and drove it into the public spotlight. You can read the book The Loudest Voice in the Room or watch the mini-series based on it to learn

Housing is madness right now. I’m in a neighborhood under construction. It cost about $5xxk to build one a year and a half ago. One of those homes went on the market this weekend for $750k. One day bidding war and it sold for $820k. I have

Gwynne Shotwell runs the day to day at SpaceX. She hasn’t gotten a ton of press but it’s clear she is a key reason for the successes you described above. Which Musk can take some credit for—-hiring well and not getting in her way.

That’s good context. Thank you. It speaks to the power imbalance.

This is an ahistorical argument that is wildly ignorant of the power dynamics between labor and capital, with a Nassim Taleb-ism shoe-horned in to a place where it doesn't fit.
